Hyper Bump It CVE-2023-41057

This vulnerability is classified as Path Traversal (CWE-22), which allows attackers to access files and directories outside the intended path. hyper-bump-it is a command line tool for updating the version in project files.hyper-bump-it reads a file glob pattern from the configuration file. That is combined with the project root directory to construct a full glob pattern that is used to find files that should be edited. These matched files should be contained within the project root directory, but that is not checked. This could result in changes being written to files outside of the project. The default behaviour of hyper-bump-it is to display the planned changes and prompt the user for confirmation before editing any files. However, the configuration file provides a field that can be used cause files to be edited without displaying the prompt. This issue has been fixed in release version 0.5.1. Users are advised to upgrade. Users that are unable to update from vulnerable versions, executing hyper-bump-it with the --interactive command line argument will ensure that all planned changes are displayed and prompt the user for confirmation before editing any files, even if the configuration file contains show_confirm_prompt=true. Affected products include: Plannigan Hyper Bump It. Version information: version 0.5.1..
